Audi RS6: Airbag Coding After Steering Wheel Install

I retrofitted an airbag switch for the passenger seat on my RS6 (4F) so that I can install a child seat there. Now, I want to use VCDS to reprogram the airbag control unit so that it recognizes the switch and I can use it. However, in VCDS, I only see the existing code; no new code is automatically suggested. There is a mask to enter a new code, but I have no idea how to find the new code. I would be grateful for any help! Unfortunately, I am not an expert .

Did you also retrofit the "Passenger Off" airbag warning light?

Here's the continuation:

(Installation instructions for retrofitting a key switch to deactivate the passenger airbag).

VCDS will not provide you with coding suggestions; instead, it provides the function and status for individual coding points.
The specific details of what needs to be changed may be found in the relevant technical documentation (RLF) or possibly in a test procedure instruction (TPI).
And since you're dealing with the airbag system, be careful about using unauthorized information from the internet.

This one already works (see picture). Or do you mean a different light fixture? [/img]

Thank you for the link! I don't have access to it yet (it seems like you need to purchase it). Would I be able to get the correct code if I did? Because most of the mount assembly has already been completed; all that's left is the re-encoding.

I found another setting in VCDS (so that you might not need to reprogram, see the photo), but I'm not sure if it's the correct one. I assume that in this case, I would simply select "key switch installed"? I don't understand what "not parameterized" means or when it is used.

Hello,

Modifications that affect safety are made at your own risk; it's unlikely that anyone here will approve of such changes.
You need to figure things out for yourself.

Best regards, Rainer.
